Michelle Obama invites Bill Ayers to School (November 4, 1997) with Barack
http://www-news.uchicago.edu/releases/97/971104.juvenile.justice.shtml ^

November 4, 1997 Press Contact: Julia Morse (773) 702-8359 morse@uchicago.edu

Michelle Obama, Associate Dean of Student Services will open a dialogue between members of the University community and the broader community.

William Ayers, author of A Kind and Just Parent: The Children of Juvenile Court(Beacon Press, 1997), says “We should call a child a child.

Ayers will be joined by Illinois State Sen. Barack Obama, Senior Lecturer in the University of Chicago Law School.

One hundred years later, the system is “overcrowded, under-funded, over-centralized and racist,” Ayers said.

Michelle Obama, Associate Dean of Student Services and Director of the University of Chicago Community Service Center, hopes bringing issues like this to campus will open a dialogue between members of the University community and the broader community.

“We know that issues like juvenile justice impact each of us who live in the city of Chicago. This panel gives community members and students a chance to hear about the juvenile justice system not only on a theoretical level, but from the people who have experienced it.”

Well, both Ayers and Obama are wrong on this because psychopathic behavior (no conscience) can be found in children under 10. But it doesn’t surprise me that Bill Ayers is defending psychopaths since I suspect he knows quite a bit about psychopaths.

But, but, Obama’s didn’t even know Ayers in 1997, never mind chumming around like old pals giving lectures at schools teaching students how “racist’ the courts are.

The funny part, I hate to say it, is that many people on the Left wouldn’t care if Obama parachuted out in a turban on his way the World Trade Center...

Liberals do not care about criminal Left Wing affiliations, Communist ties, African dictators, Mob bosses, Islamic front groups, Afro-Centric/Black Liberation Theology...

A Liberal fights for open borders and open abortion on demand...habeas corpus for terrorists, free everything that the “rich” pay for...

They “LIKE” Bill Ayers and the like, we hammer this stuff, but in reality, most don’t care and will pull the lever for their:

1) White guilt of priviledge
2) Black or brown skin

Logic isn’t what guides liberalism, it is the totalitarian push for Marxism, which they claim they really want, but in reality, would not allow them the luxuries most whiny white Liberals enjoy. I live near Berkeley and SF...I know.

The summation of Ayers argument is two fold...

1) Gun control, one of the main platforms of Communism that disarms the public for “their own good”, and,

2) The legal system being a “kind and just parent” which is the State effectively taking the parenting role and indoctrinating them into a Collective, brainwashed existence.

Ayers is truly a Commie and a maggot.

From the New York Times, April 28, 2008
Reverend Wright at the National Press Club
"In the late 1960s, when Dr. James Cone's powerful books burst onto the scene, the term 'black liberation theology' began to be used. I do not in any way disagree with Dr. Cone, nor do I in any way diminish the inimitable and incomparable contributions that he has made and that he continues to make to the field of theology. Jim, incidentally, is a personal friend of mine."

________________________________________________________

From Jeff Head's website...
One notable quote from [James] Cone describing his Black Liberation Theology is as follows:

"Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill Gods who do not belong to the black community ... Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love." - "Divine Racism: The Unacknowledged Threshold Issue for Black Theology", in African-American Religious Thought: An Anthology, by William R Jones, ed Cornel West and Eddie Glaube (Westminster John Knox Press).

HANNITY: But Reverend Jeremiah Wright is not backing down and has not for years and in his strong stance on the teaching of black liberation theology is nothing new. He had the same things to say last spring when he appeared on "Hannity & Colmes:"

WRIGHT: If you're not going to talk about theology in context, if you're not going to talk about liberation theology that came out of the '60s, systematized black liberation theology that started with Jim Cone in 1968 and the writings of Cone and the writings of Dwight Hopkins and the writings of womynist theologians and Asian theologians and Hispanic theologians, then you can't talk about the black value system.

HANNITY: But I'm a — reverend

WRIGHT: Do you know liberation theology, sir?

Yes, but I still wonder who tampered with this doccument supposed printed in 1997, and added:

"Ayers will be joined by Illinois State Sen. Barack Obama, Senior Lecturer in the University of Chicago Law School, who is working to block proposed legislation that would throw more juvenile offenders into the adult system;"

I’d like to have a PUKE FEST where everyone gets to vomit on those in the media who are lying by omission (It’s their O-Mission!). They just let the Obamas lie and laugh. Have some more Iranian caviar, Michelle, you lying Socialist you.

Obama was elected to the Illinois Senate in 1996, succeeding State Senator Alice Palmer as Senator from Illinois' 13th District, which then spanned Chicago South Side neighborhoods from Hyde Park-Kenwood south to South Shore and west to Chicago Lawn.

Click the music link and sing along!

AYERS
Tune: "Hair"

(Don't ask this guy)
When I knew Ayers or why
I'm beggin' noon and (nighty, night, night):
Keep Ayers out of sight!

I met him long ago
But don't ask me why
('Cause he don't know)
It's not for lack of years
Sharin' our careers
(Dreamin')

Was I in bed with Ayers
Bill "Radical" Ayers
Burnin', hatin'
Bombin' his own nation

Get me out of where (Ayers)
Served as my old mentor (Ayers)
Near Barry Obama
Anywhere that he could be

Ayers (Ayers, Ayers Ayers, Ayers, Ayers)
Throw him, stow him
Long as I don't know him
Bill Ayers

I passed him by on the street
Never more did we meet
Never once have I greeted Bill Ayers

Apart from those years
Advisin' my eager ears
The time he took
To write my book
Or the party
For the Senate
At the household of Bill

Ayers (Ayers, Ayers Ayers, Ayers, Ayers)
Throw him, stow him
Long as I don't know him
Bill Ayers

That guy who's long-time
Days-of-Ragin'
Flaggy-raggy
Commie, bomby
Risky like Alinsky
Burnin', hatin'
Bombin' his own nation
Dohrny and ACORNy
Marxist and anarchist
Chavez-aidin'
And abettin'
Hostin', ghostin'
Boastin', not regrettin'

Oh say, can you see
Any photos of me
That Bill Ayers is in

Not his house
Not his stairs
Not his spouse
Not his chairs
The ones by his couch
(No, never has he been there
And to that we can vouch)

Oh, was I in bed with Ayers
Bill "Radical" Ayers
Burnin', hatin'
Bombin' his own nation

Now won't you get me out of where (Ayers)
Served as my old mentor (Ayers)
Near Barry Obama
Anywhere that he could be

Ayers (Ayers, Ayers Ayers, Ayers, Ayers)
Throw him, stow him
Long as I don't know him
Bill

Ayers (Ayers, Ayers Ayers, Ayers, Ayers)
Throw him, stow him
Long as I don't know him
Bill

Ayers (Ayers, Ayers Ayers, Ayers, Ayers)
Ayers (Ayers, Ayers Ayers, Ayers, Ayers) . . .

Well, the good Senator can't possibly be expected to remember every guest from every little soiree his lovely wife put together, let alone from 11 years ago. Sheesh, we hold him accountable to impossibly high standards. /drippingly sarcastic response concluded...

Well, for being a stranger, Obama even wrote a forward for Ayer’s book! Reported on Fox all day.

No one cares. He could behead people on live tv, and they would still love him.

The great deception has begun. Oprah has been hypnotising her followers for months....”envisioning” Obama’s win...during her own online church...And check this out:

“Pure and holy, tried and true; With thanksgiving I’ll be a living Sanctuary f o r You.” (obama)
